Whereabouts in eastern PA are you? Not near Allentown I hope. The club I used to belong to attempted to start another show in the area, had a nicer venue than the primary show around here, got a reasonable turnout of vendors for the first go, and had a lot of very nice operating layouts on display. Unfortunately the established guys used some strong-arming to prevent a repeat show. I hear nothign but complaints about the peopel who run the show, but since it's the only game in town, the vendors have little choice but to comply.
The locals could do a lot of learning from Howard Zane and his great shows in Timonium.
